GrumpyOne Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 4 hours ago, RJH said: yes, but garands don't actually have strippers, the whole clip slides into the mag well, and pings out The ping is what makes them cool In WWII, our GI's learned early on to keep an an empty Enbloc clip with them. They'd fire a few rounds, then throw the Enbloc at their helmet to make the characteristic "Ping!" of an empty M1. When the enemy heard the "Ping!", they thought out troops were empty and would charge...which they found out rather quickly that the M1s were not empty.... Moral to the story...M1's are damn cool.

Even the 2019 draft rules!It was missed.It has been brought up and per my understanding has been added to a list of changes via member comment to be included in the 2019 rule book.

Flatland Shooter Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I don't think I've ever seen anyone compete with a .357 Sig cartridge. Possibly rarer than a 9x25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarTech Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I commented about it also. Let's hope it gets in. I emailed Troy directly on one of my other questions and mentioned it.. it is going to be in...And it was also a topic in the RM forum where all the RMIs read (RMIs are all on the rules committee)...To use an old military term—- Confidence is high!

RadarTech Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I don't think I've ever seen anyone compete with a .357 Sig cartridge. Possibly rarer than a 9x25.I’ve seen it in a few matches.In some states 357 sig is A LEO round..IE NC -NC Highway patrol carries 357 sig as the primary duty sidearm.

That’s a problem USPSA has with changing rules and then posting in obscure places so members have to check multiple spots to see changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe .357 SIG plays well with the gun legislation in same places. I believe that is one reason IPSC just extended its temporary status as a Major caliber in a few Divisions.

Hi-Power Jack Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I'm not sure why the RO was so close to the shooter with the .500 S&W ? I would think you could be 20 feet away and catch all the shots on the timer. And, those must be "reduced loads" - I fired five shots from a .445 S & W and that was enough for me - couldn't hear and had a headache for two days.

[emoji20] The 500 S&W is much quieter the the 460.The 500 operates at standard magnum revolver chamber pressures. The 460 operates at similar pressures to a 308.
